REID, James Knox 
(1870-1928)Keowee Courier September 11, 1928, Died, at his home in 
Eastminster, on Saturday morning, September 8th, at about nine 
o'clock, Mr. James Knox Reid, aged 58 years. Mr. Reid's health failed 
many months back, about the time he returned to Westminster from 
Toccoa, Ga., last winter. He was afflicted with a complication of 
diseases and had suffered greatly the past few months. He had been 
unable to work since the tenth of January. Mr. Reid was a textile 
worker and had worked here a long time, with the exception of a few 
years at Walhalla and Toccoa, Ga. He was a son of the late William 
Reid and was born in the Pleasant Hill section of the county on July 
3, 1870. He was a kind-heared gentleman, well liked by everbody, 
modest, quiet and unassuming. He was twice married, his first wife who 
died several years ago was Miss Fannie Brown. By this union he leaves 
two sons, Frank and Geo. Reid, one son, Knox Reid, having died some 
months ago. His second wife, who was Miss Lillie Mae Lindsay, with two 
daughters, Margaret, aged seven, and Mary, aged five years, survives. 
The deceased was member of the Westminster Camp Woodmen of the World, 
the Masonic Order and the Junior Order American Mechanics and always 
took an active part in these organizations. The funeral and interment 
was at the First Westminster Baptist church Sunday afternoon at two 
o'clock and was in charge of the Masons with the pall-bearers chosen 
from members of the W. O. W. Dr. F. H. Martin and Rev. M. J. Stancell 
conducted the services. Sheldon and Miller were the undertakers. There 
are many who sorrow at the passing of Mr. Jas. K. Reid and they deeply 
sympathize with the widow and children in their bereavement.
